question:To make their weights equal, Jack, who weighs 60 pounds, wants to balance the see-saw with his cousin Anna, who weighs 40 pounds. How many 4-pound rocks does Jack need to hold?
answer:To balance the see-saw, Jack needs to add the same weight as Anna's weight difference, which is 60 - 40 = 20 pounds. Since each 4-pound rock adds 4 pounds of weight, Jack needs 20 / 4 = 5 rocks. Therefore, Jack needs 5 rocks to balance the see-saw. 5 The answer is: 5
question:At Frank's Fruit Market, the cost of 3 bananas is equivalent to the cost of 2 apples, and the cost of 6 apples is equivalent to the cost of 4 oranges. How many oranges are equivalent in cost to 18 bananas?
answer:First, we can set up the following equations based on the given information: 3 bananas = 2 apples 6 apples = 4 oranges To find out how many oranges are equivalent in cost to 18 bananas, we can use these equations to find the ratio of bananas to oranges: 3 bananas = 2 apples 18 bananas = 12 apples (multiply both sides by 6) 12 apples = 8 oranges (since 6 apples = 4 oranges) Therefore, 18 bananas is equivalent in cost to boxed{8} oranges.The answer is: 8
question:f Gretchen sells caricatures in the park on the weekends for 20.00 each, and she sold 24 on Saturday and 16 on Sunday, what is the total amount of money she made?
answer:On Saturday, Gretchen sold 24 caricatures for 20 each, so she made 24 * 20 = <<24*20=480.00>>480.00 On Sunday, Gretchen sold 16 caricatures for 20 each, so she made 16 * 20 = <<16*20=320.00>>320.00 Therefore, the total amount of money Gretchen made is 480.00 + 320.00 = <<480+320=800.00>>800.00 800 The answer is: 800
question:f a square has an area of 1/4, what is the length of its side?
answer:The area of a square is equal to the square of its side length. So, if the area of the square is frac{1}{4}, then the side length must be the square root of frac{1}{4}. The square root of frac{1}{4} is frac{1}{2}. Therefore, the length of the side of the square is boxed{frac{1}{2}}.The answer is: frac{1}{2}
